"The play was Federico Garcia Lorca's Yerma, based on themes of social injustice and repression against a shepherd's wife in the 1930's rural Spain. The challenge of Evelyn's vision was to turn this rural Spaniard play into an Afro-Caribbean theme with all the fire and mystery of Latin "Santeria". Having had plenty of experience as a child attending Zion of Santeria with my mother and being a musician/composer for all my life, I decided to take the challenge and arrange/compose the music with the Afro-Caribbean theme using the styles of Bomba, Plena, Afro, Mozambique and Ñañigo 6/8 rhythms. The result was an amazing blend of culture, fire and emotions that turned the play into an unforgettable performance. With the aide of the accomplished Puerto Rican percussionist, Gene Perry, we created a Caribbean version of this play. "
